You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 198

Earlier,

“Mom, Bill is always with that woman. You have to help me, please.” Trishia lost her nerve when she saw Bill and Arabella go out in the morning. She stayed in his house for nothing as she could not even enter Bill’s room.

“What do you plan to do?” Kelly was drinking her coffee in the gazebo when Trishia strode in frantically.

“I want to be with Bill all the time, mom,” Trishia answered. “Let me have a position in the Corporation.” Trishia was already desperate. She would do anything to get Bill and she would not allow Arabella to ruin her plan.

Kelly studied Trishia. She was unwell for the past few days and tried her best to get up today. Kelly could not deny that the death of Jaime troubled her. She was her best friend before until her daughter shamed their family and killed her husband. It seemed the hatred she felt was already engraved in her heart.

“I can help you with that.” Kelly had clear eyes for Trishia. “But what about your own career?”

“I don’t care about my career, mom. I just wanted to know what’s that woman doing behind our back. What if she is already seducing Bill? I know that kind of woman is a poisonous snake. She would not stop grasping until she would reach the top where she could spread her venom.” Trishia was very agitated and exhausted. She could not be left behind. Her main purpose in staying there was to make Bill realize that she was his best match. She wanted Bill to love her or even get to like her and everything would follow smoothly.

After hearing Trishia’s answer, Kelly took her mobile phone from the table and made a call to someone.

“Done,” Kelly announced. “You are going to be the assistant of the Vice President. Would that be okay with you?” She added.

“Assistant?” A self-deprecating smile showed on Trishia’s face. “What about the Vice President’s position, mom?” Trishia pushed her luck. How could she work for another person? She should be the boss, not just an assistant.

“My darling, you can’t have that position until you can be Bill’s wife,” Kelly explained in a gentle but firmed manner.

Trishia was annoyed inside but gathered her composure or else she’s sure she would shout at Kelly.

‘Witch! Witch! Witch!’ Trishia cursed Kelly repetitively in her thoughts.

“Is there a problem?” Trishia asked.

“Mom, what about Bill’s assistant?” Trishia refused to work for the VP.

“Arabella… Bill appointed her as his assistant and we can’t interfere with his decision. You know that.” Kelly answered as she knew once Bill made a decision, it's already final.

“Does it mean that Arabella can claim the position of VP as she was married to Bill?” With her own question, Trishia made herself petrified.

Kelly looked at her like she was answering yes even without speaking it.

“It’s the old Sky’s last will, darling. Whoever married Bill would instantly be a major stockholder in the company. The share of the Old Sky is with Bill but once he got married, he had to transfer it to her wife and that share is the biggest. Well, maybe he wanted to secure the future of Bill’s wife as he knew how stubborn Bill is, or maybe since they were very close, the Old Sky wanted to show his utmost gratitude for marrying his only stubborn grandson.” Kelly explained and sipped coffee from her mug. “Who would have thought that Bill would marry the wrong girl?” Kelly added with a trace of exhaustion and dismay in her voice.

“Mom, how’s that possible?” Trishia felt her spirit just abandon her body. A bucket of cold water seemed to pour into her body as she couldn't believe what she heard. “How… how about Bill, mom? Did he know about the will?” Trishia's tone was dispirited like she was to collapse anytime soon.

“Yes. He did know about it. As a matter of fact, he has the will. My dear husband gave it to him during his debut.” Kelly answered. “Are you okay, darling?” Then she asked worriedly to Trishia who seemed to forget her breathing.

“I’m at a loss, mom. What if that woman would claim her throne in the company and the old Sky's shares?” The news made Trishia’s knees soften. She thought being married to Bill Sky was already a big catch but there’s more than that.

The biggest share and the company!

Sky Corporation is the leading company in the whole world. It’s the biggest company in Capital Z and abroad. Their shareholders were mostly big businessmen foreigners. One could not imagine how big is big when you have a share of the company how much more if you owned the biggest share?

It’s a jaw-dropping fact indeed.

Her father, Sen. Meyer would surely love the news.

If Arabella could have the share, she would live comfortably like a queen. Her money could buy a whole country.

What’s more?

She could dump Bill all she wants.

“Cheer up, Darling! I don’t think Bill would allow that. If he really wanted to give it, then he had already done it a long time ago but instead, he made her his assistant. Just an assistant. Remember that!” Kelly smirked while her eyes rolled in annoyance. Obviously, she didn't want Trishia to give up on pursuing her son.

Trishia smiled like she saw a silver lining. Kelly was right. Knowing Bill, he would have done it from the start but he didn’t.

Does it mean that Bill was really not into her? If he likes Arabella then he would give what’s in his grandfather’s will.

‘He was definitely toying her!’ Trishia concluded with a wicked smile.

‘That share is mine!’ Whatever would happen, she would do anything to get the title of Arabella.

‘That position is mine!’ She could already imagine Sen, Meyer’s proud face for her while non-stop boasting to his friends about her.

“Trishia, this is a big secret in this family. Only Bill and I know about this and now you. Keep it a secret, will you? Or Bill would hate me. He will hate us. I know he had a plan. And now that you know about it, it’s up to you to act fast if you want to be his wife. I am putting all hope on you. I don’t want that woman taking advantage of my son. So, you have to get my son’s heart and he will divorce that woman. Okay?” Kelly expressed.

“I will mom…I will not disappoint you. I promise. And don't worry, the family secret is safe with me.” Trishia swore while vicious plans were already crazily running in her head. Of course, she would not tell any single soul about the secret. If the secret come out, Arabella would be the richest girl in the world.

That would never happen!

At Spiral Restaurant.

Eric Grant suddenly appeared in front wearing his business suit. He looked amazingly handsome that everyone around couldn't help to turn their heads in their table's direction not to mention Bill's appearance too. Arabella could say all the women there envied her judging from their gazes. With Eric's formal suite, one could easily tell, that he had a meeting in the place too.

Just coincidence perhaps but Bill was not in a good mood to see him.

Arabella was stunned by Eric's presence. All she thought was they would never see each other again after the incident happened at the lobby in the hotel that night. She smiled at him because she remembered his job offer and words of wisdom that night.

“I can’t say the same to you, Mr. Grant,” Bill sliced his steak without giving Eric a single glance.

Eric smiled widely even with Bill’s displeasing words.

“I understand, Mr. Sky. Honestly, I just came to say Hi to Arabella.” Eric’s eyes glued on her. He wasn’t disturbed with Bill. The night is perfect, that was the expression Eric's wearing.

Arabella felt awkward by Eric’s stare and Bill’s bad mood.
